As the world celebrates Valentine's Day, we bring you your romantic horoscope for 2013!

Aries (March 21 to April 20)

Straightforward and bold, you never hesitate before asking anything. When it comes to love, though, tread cautiously.

Sometimes, happiness lies in small things. Don't demand too much from your partner. Remember, it's not about what you can get; it's about what you can give.

This is the perfect time for those of you who are thinking of popping the 'marriage' question. Don't forget to have the ring handy, your loved one is going to say yes. Ladies, be prepared... your loved one might be gearing up to propose.

You financial situation is good, so you can afford to splurge on expensive presents for your soul mate.

Sadly for singles, this Valentine's Day is not going to be lucky. But don't worry! You will meet an eligible mate in May.

Your newly rediscovered sense of confidence has already attracted many people from the opposite sex.

As a result of your personal transformation, people are getting friendlier with you. For some reason, though, you have delayed proposing to the one you like. Valentine's Day is the perfect day to take this forward. You'll get a favourable response.

A warning, though, for those of you who have found love at your workplace. A jealous colleague or senior could create problems for you.

Cancerians are sensitive, emotional people who enjoy getting pampered by their partner. Do remember, though, that love is not one-sided.

So don't expect your partner to take the lead every time. Show initiative and make this a special Valentine's Day for your loved one.

Singles, get ready to mingle. This Valentine's day will prove lucky for you. All you need to do is leave your negative attitude behind. Remember, the planetary positions are in your favour.

Though you are facing problems both at home and at work, don't let it affect your love life. Your soulmate will give you the strength to face every trial and tribulation.

Smart and clever Virgos know how to impress their partner, but need to keep their relationship under the radar. Don't share your Valentine's Day plans.

If you are going to propose to your crush, don't make your decision public. It could create problems. Save your communication skills for your proposal.

Since you are not keeping well and have low immunity right now, plan your V-Day well. Eating out at the wrong place or hanging out too much may affect your health adversely.

Avoid crowded areas. Choose your date venue wisely, even if it is a bit expensive. Remember, Valentine's Day comes just once a year.

Favourable dates: 5, 14, 23

Valentine's gifting suggestions: Virgos like practical gifts, so self-help books may be a good idea. They are also fond of art. Watching a play or an interesting movie, followed by a candlelight dinner, is a good option this Valentine's Day.

V-Day: Your romantic horoscope for 2013!

You have been going through a rough patch since the last six months and are in no mood to celebrate Valentine's Day.

But you need to remember that love gives you the energy to tackle whatever Life throws at you. So keep your problems aside for a day and have fun with your loved one. It will fill you with strength and you can tackle your problems with renewed vigour.

Those of you who are single will need to tread a different path.

If you are planning to propose to someone you like, hold on for six months. You may get a positive reply, but you will not be able to maintain your relationship for six months.

Your priorities are different right now; anything that distracts you from them will only be a drain on your energy.

2013 has not brought good fortune, either personally or professionally, to the calm and polite Capri. Your problems have left you with no time to think about love.

But even in such adverse conditions, your loved one is standing by you and giving you the strength to cope.

This Valentine's Day gives you the perfect opportunity to thank your soulmate.

Those who are single would have recently found someone with a loving and caring nature. Enjoy the flow. Don't rush into a relationship. Don't make plans to propose immediately. Get to know the person well before going down on bended knee.

Favourable dates: 8, 17, 26

Valentine's gifting suggestions: A beautiful bouquet and nice book will please the romantic Capri.

V-Day: Your romantic horoscope for 2013!

You have gone through such a terrible experience that you had lost faith in love.

Though you are slowly recovering from this shock, you are still not ready to romance anyone.

Life is about moving on so this is the perfect time to open your heart to love. Spare some time from your serious and disciplined life to meet that special someone.

This is someone you know, someone who has been there for you when the going was tough.

This is the right time for those who are single to come out of their shell and socialise. A romantic opportunity will knock at your door in May. For now, celebrate your Valentine's Day with your family and your friends. After all, they love you too.
